Reduce downspout erosion with a better splash block
Slow the speed and reduce the force of the rain water exiting
your downspout with the Downspout Splash Block Diffuser.
Ok, so we finally get that much needed rain. However with a heavy downpour,
there often arises a common landscape problem: washout. This happens
most often at the bottom of downspouts, especially during heavy
rains. In this common problem, the gutters collect the roof runoff
and channel it down the downspout, the result of which
is something like a powerful jet stream of water eroding the ground
beneath your downspouts. Soil and mulch don't stand a chance, even
stones can get moved around as the high velocity water is jettisoned
into your yard or onto the driveway. Buy this downspout splash
block and slow that water down.
The Splash Block Diffuser will be shipped assembled and ready
to be installed on a 3"x4" downspout. If you have 2"x3" downspouts,
you will need to screw the supplied 2"x3" adapter into place
on the back of the Splash Block. Stone White color.

The soft rubber flap forces the water down and distributes it evenly
over a wide area. As the flow of water increases the flap
opens more. |

We have pulled the lid back to expose the inside of the
Splash Block Diffuser. The series of 'teeth' work as baffles
to slow the speed of the water and distribute it over a wider
area. The holes in the floor of the unit allow you to use long
aluminum spikes to help hold it in place in addition having secured
it with screws to the downspout elbow. |
